Jack Spratt C21 Style
Peter Perfect
lived his life
by the rules of
his darling wife,
who cleaned and swept
and cooked and fed him
and once a month
dutifully bedded him;
getting that chore
out of the way
but to add variety
varied the day.
Peter Perfect,
wanting more not less,
and wanting not
to cause her stress
met his lover three times
a week for sex and kissing
thus each provided what
the other was missing.
So in harmony
this modern Jack Spratt
left his wife the lean
while he ate the fat.
